Pizza Hut is coming out with a grilled cheese pizza

On Monday, the chain will
debut the Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza: a
dish that features cheddar and mozzarella cheese stuffed into its
crust.

The difference between this new
pizza and a more traditional stuffed crust are the cheese, bread
crumb, and melted butter that top the crust, producing a
crunchier texture reminiscent of a grilled cheese
sandwich.

"The Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust
Pizza is an imagination of a classic grilled cheese and a
traditional pizza,” David Timm, Pizza Hut's chief marketing
officer, said in a statement. "The result is a delicious,
flavorful pizza that packs the punch of a gooey, crunchy grilled
cheese."

A one-topping,
large Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza costs
$12.99. Customers can order the pizza with any available Pizza
Hut toppings.

Pizza Hut has long been one of
the most adventurous players in the pizza industry, introducing
options such as pizzas with garlic knot and bacon stuffed crusts.
It hasn't always been a financial success for the chain —
same-store sales increased 1% in the US last quarter,
missing Yum Brand's expectations.

Currently, the brand is in the
midst of a major remodeling effort, with plans to
revamp 700 of its US locations this year.
